Here’s what you’ll need for acai bowls for two:
A Blender
2 Frozen Acai Packs (found in freezer section of health food stores- I got mine at Sprouts)
3 Bananas
Strawberries
Blueberries
Frozen Cherries (optional, we just love them)
Granola/Cereal with Granola base
Honey

Step 2: Grab the acai puree packs, and run them under warm water for a minute just so they are lose enough to come out. Cut off the tops so you can easily remove from packaging. And also note, you’ll need one pack per bowl, so you can easily scale this recipe up or down.

Step 3: In your blender toss in 2 bananas, 2 acai packs, and if you opt for some frozen fruit, that too. Just go light on the frozen fruit, it can change the texture you’re after. We did about 2/3rds cup of frozen cherries. Many of the stores you can buy these at also have options to add some nut butter or protein powder too. Feel free to do so if you want some protein in the mix! You could definitely just go with bananas and acai too.

It should look like this when you’re done. Thick enough to form a peak/eat with a spoon, thin enough to pour.

Step 6: Add your sliced fruit to the top of the acai. Nothing special, just place it right on top.

Step 7: Add your granola/cereal to the top. We bought the Post Great Grains cereal for this one because it already had the nuts and granola we like. Any granola of your choice will do perfectly!

Step 8 (optional): Sprinkle cereal/granola on top of the fruit, and drizzle with a little honey for added sweetness.
